Application filed October 19, 1923. Serial No. 669,601.

' This invention is areceptacle of the type designed for temporary storage of garbage and other similar refuse.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide a sanitary storage receptacle of temporary character which may be replaced at any time by a new one, thereby elimi nating the necessity of cleansing receptacles of this type. ,A further object is to provide 4 a garbage receptacle embodying a supporting means and a flexible .sanitary receivingsack which may be removed when filled, and a new one substituted. and engaged with the supporting means. A further ob'ect is to. provide means for maintaining he mouth of the sack-in close contact with the walls of a supporting member in such manner as to prevent the refuse from passing between the sack.

The invention will be hereinafter fully set forth and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings:

Fig. 10 is a top plan view.

Fig. 11 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view taken on line 11-11 of Fig. 8

Fig. 12 is a diagrammatical view showing several of the removable containers in nested relation.

-Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the drawing, 12 designates a cylindrical casing which may be constructed of any suitable material such as metal, rubberoid or any sectional view of the other moisture-proof material possessing the desired. durability. Secured to the lower end of said casing- 12 by suitable means such as rivets 14 is a circular channel shaped ceives reenforcing band 13. The casing 12 is supported by a removable base 17 having a central ofE-set portion 16, which projects into the casing and forms a bottom therefor.

Said base has a down turned supporting.

flange 18 upon which it rests. Secured to the reinforced band 13 by means of the transverse rivets 14 are L- shaped latch elements 19, the lateral legs of which rest upon the base 17 and are engageable with keepers 20 fixed to this base at spaced intervals. includes a strip of metal bent to approximately Z-shape and having one end secured to the base as at 2l, while its opposite end is spaced from thebase and slidably rethe lateral legs of the latch-element therebetween.

A reinforcing band 22 substantially similar to the band 13. is secured to the upper end of the casing 12, and is provided with an lnternal annular bead or rib 23 which is I disposed within the casing 12.

Each of these keepers 20 Arranged within the casing 12 is a re-" movable container designated in its entirety at 26 and received in the upper end of this container is a resilient band 25, the latter holding the mouth of the receptacle against the heading or rib 23.

In Figs. 8 to 12 inclusive, are illustrated. a modification of the container used in conjunction with Fig. 4. This container comprises a flexible and slightly tapered waterproof tube 26, which is constructed from any desirable material possessing the tensile strength and is treated with suitable "moisture-proof material such as parafiin. Lo-

cated within the lower end of the flexible} tube 26 is a'relatively rigid bottom 27 preferably constructed of card-board or' other stout material and coated with parafiin or other moisture-proof material. This bottom 27 is formed with a corrugated annular flange 28, which is secured to the lower end of the flexible tube by gluing or other desirable manner.

Fig. 11 shows a manner of connecting these two parts together and it will be observed that the corrugated surfaces will provide a relatively strong bond between the parts. The type of locking eludes an expansible band or ribbon 29 having its ends arranged in overlapping relaring shown in Fig. 4 intion and riveted or otherwise secured to gether as at 30. In thls instance, the band will be squeezed together to insert the same within the mouth of the removable receptacle and in placing this band in position it is gradually released to permit itself to conform to the side walls of the casing.

In Fig. 5 a split band is provided and in assembling this band with the device the ends thereof are arranged in overlapping relation and upon releasing the same the band will expand and the ends thereof will abut as shown in Fig. 5.

In Fig. 6 the band is substantially C- shaped in cross section and one end carries a longitudinal tongue 31, which is slidably received in the adjacent end of the band.

In Fig. 7 a lever 32 is hinged to one end of the band and carried by this lever; ad'acent its hinged end is a plate 33 provi ed with a transverse shoulder 34. The opposite end of the band is provided with angularly dis osed' inturned flange 35, which contacts with the plate and engages the shoulder.

In this form of the band the resiliency alone V is not depended upon to lock the'same in scribed comprising a casing open at its top,

position as the parts are forced into engagement with the mouth of the receptacle and easing by the cam action of'the lever 32.

The usual covering 36 having a handle 37 is received upon the upper end of the casing.

In practice the house-wife will be provided with any desired number of duplicate moisture-proof sacks which will be retained on hand for use as may be required. After a sack which has previously been inserted and secured within the receptacle 12, has been filled with garbage or other refuse,

said sack may be removed and disposed of a split band engaging the inner surface of said casing contiguous to said open top, and a sack having its open mouth normally clamped betweensaid split band and said casing, and means cooperating with said band to distort the shape of the contiguous portion of the sack.

2. 'A refuse receptacle of the character described comprising a casing open at its top and provided with an internal bead spaced from its top edge, a split band engagingethe inner surface of said casing above said ad,

and a sack having its open mouth normally clamped between said split band and the casing so that the contiguous portion of the sack will be distorted by said head.

3. A refuse receptacle of the character described comprising a casing open at its top, a channel shaped reenforcing band engaging the top edge of said casing and provided with a bead positioned within thecasing, a split band engaging the inner surface of said reenforcing band above said head, and a sack having its open mouth normally clamped between the reenforcing band and said bead so that the contiguous portion of the sack will be distorted by said bead.

4. A refuse receptacle of the character described comprising a casing open at its top,

a removable bottom therefor, the diameter of said bottom being greater than the diameter of said casing so as to provide a flange extending outside of the casing, means for detachably connecting the casing to the flange-like extension 'of said bottom, a container removably located within said casing, and means for clamping the mouth of the container to the mouth of the casing.

5. A refuse receptacle of the character described comprising a casing open at its top, a removable bottom therefor, the diameter of said bottom being greater than the diameter of said casing so as to provide a flange extending outside of the casing, means for detachably. connecting the casing to the flange-like extension of said bottom, a container removablylocated within said casing, and a resilient band normally located within the mouth of the container to hold the same v in contact with the walls of the casing, the

upper end of said container being disposed below the upper edge of the band so as to prevent refuse from entering the space between the receptacle and the upper edge of the container.

t 6. A refuse receptacle of the character described comprising a casing, channel shaped reenforcing elements upon the end of the casing, a bottom removably secured to said casin and havin a central ortion ro-' jecting into the contiguous end of the casing, a sanitary containerremovably located within the casing and having its bottom restingv I upon the .projecting portion of the casing bottom, and means for holding the mouth of the container incontact with the casing.

7. A refuse receptacle of the character described comprisim a. tubular casing, a rcmovable bottom therefor, said bottom being of a greater diameter than the diameter of the casing so as to provide an annular flange extending from said casing when the members are engaged, keepers carried by the top surface of said flange-like portion, and L- shap'ed latch elements of flat cross-sectioncarried by the casing and positioned to engage said keepers.

8. A receptacle of the character described said bead, and a sack having its open mouth comprising a casing open at its top and its normally clamped between said split band bottom and provided with an internal bead and the casing sothat the contiguous por- 10 spaced from its top edge, a removable bottion of the sack will be distorted by said tom, means for removably retaining said rebead.
